Carp Fish Farm UK – OUR CARP
All our stock carp are grown in natural spring fed pools, protected by anti-avian predator nets and wires.
Our carp and tench are fed on a specially formed diet which incorporates a specialist pellet and whole grain cereals along with us encouraging as much natural food intake as possible. This ensures healthy and varied diet which means our carp have very good muscle growth rather than just pure fat weight gain. This we feel adds to the life expectancy and overall health of our carp and tench.
Our entire carp and tench stock are free from KHV, SVC and other terminal disease. CEFAS carry out regular site inspections and stock tests. Our carp and tench stocks are also independently health checked every six months by fish pathologists, which in-turn with our strict bio-security plan we implement on the farm means that we believe our carp stock are some of the most healthy and fastest growing British farmed carp available on the market.
All our larger carp are hand-picked out for their shape, scale pattern and growth and are grown on in outdoor spring fed stock pools.
